Basic Obedience Training with a Bullmastiff

[@willdaf]

“He understands but it’s just a matter of if he can or can’t be arsed.” 😆😂🤣 Mine is just like that to! I’m sure she just likes to hear the sound of my voice asking her three times plus.

Heee

LOL love that. "Basic training to show Bullmastiffs can do what they're told when they want to." I adore them. Can't imagine my life without one ... don't want to imagine that!

[@kaisselledeloria6387]

Kay Baxter i really agree what said :)

[@mariakrsiakova9294]

I have 6 months old Bullmastiff female and she knows 35 commands. I taught her everything by myself, never had puppy before, but train her every day.

Make a video

[@mjustesen90]

Great video, and such a nice bullmastiff. We're getting a little boy in the beginning of april. Can't wait

[@BullmastiffForce]

I trained the basic commands with hand gestures added. I had the feeling they could better understand the gestures as the voice commands. Also when they got older I could give them commands from a distance. If they were further away in a noisy (many dogs playing) environment I could let them sit with just the gesture. Not all dogs are the same ofcourse but I would recommend to use gestures while giving the command. They do understand them after a very quickly.

I’ve got a bullmastif x American staffy and he’s a lot like this. Maybe a bit more cheeky

[@luvyesmusic]

I love the on your side for cleaning paws. Maybe I've been missing the clicker, treats and whistle to get my wife to listen to me. Must try. ;-)

[@uzazil]

Great job good sir! Keep it up!

[@mmmpoetry]

That’s great - I have a bullmastiff cross- adult from the shelter - have had him for 3 days and he seems entirely untrained. Is there a good way to tell them that the outdoors is where the potty habits are supposed to take place? Any keys to keeping them from breaking out of their kennels?

[@simonrafiei]

How much do they drool? I'm getting one but my wife is scared that it will be drool everywhere!

[@jhaych]

They aren't that bad.

Never train with food as a promoter. This creates bad habits that need to be broken later, which does create it’s own issues with control throughout the canines life.

[@xavierp7783]

The best and easiest way to train a dog is with food. Don’t know what dogs you’ve owned but I’ve had a Neapolitan mastiff, English mastiff and currently own a Rhodesian ridgeback and a cane corso, and all dogs have been trained using food and I’ve never had behaviour problems.

[@67cuda38]

@@xavierp7783 over a half century of training canine too elephant, training with food creates a slave mentality. Training with treats creates an unnecessary vice. Military, police, security, all look for minds to manipulate to enforce, weaponize, and most all trainers who train for a living, look for the easy, quick reactionary techniques. Imagine training your kids the same way, and expecting them to truly learn, not just act like food activated robots. When the stimuli ceases, the training fails. Here’s a big tip, do not trust the science of psychology. I proved it is a failed science within the first two weeks as a psychology major, and what’s more, college professors know this. I won’t get into academia here, but there’s a starting eye opener. Question absolutely everything you’ve been taught growing up, and trust no one who doesn’t continue to earn it.

[@xavierp7783]

67 cuda what you said makes a lot of sense but how else am I suppose to train my dogs?

[@67cuda38]

@@xavierp7783 Through acceptance, which brings reactionary judgement between the two creating a bond where both know the response expected, and needed. By acceptance I mean that all under an alpha look for approval, acceptance of behavior to reinforce strength within, and of the pack. This takes practice even in the wild.

[@67cuda38]

@@xavierp7783 using treats, or food to train for response is cheating, taking a shortcut. Shortcuts always have issues and usually aren’t intended to last.

Never teach your dog to lie down.... you should teach him “down”

[@bubsd487]

Why?

[@mitchd9997]

Mine Knows “down” to get down from a person,bed or sofa and also “lie down” to well, lie down! Why never teach it down?

[@xdelboy3000]

We managed sit, lied down, roll over paws and leave it . The outside training he just picked up naturally hes to lazy to pull and likes other dogs and people .
